I've had similar experiences. My Mum died of liver cancer 6 months ago and there have been so many coincidences and strange happenings, it's unbelievable.

I was present along with my brothers when Mum died. She seemed to be waiting until we were all in the room together, but she was not able to speak or even know what was going on. The sun was shining through the window and it seemed to shine super bright at the moment she died. After she took her final breath, the sun disappeared, clouds formed and it started to rain.

Mum died on my brother's wedding anniversary. She died when I was 34, the same age she would have been when she gave birth to me.

At the funeral we played a particular song that struck a chord, I'd never heard the song before but my brother suggested it. I'd usually see my Mum on Saturday nights, we'd watch TV and get a takeaway. The first Saturday I spent without Mum, I sat down to watch telly and the song from the funeral was being played on the TV show we use to watch.

Tuesday's I would go to see Mum and she'd cook a meal. Afterwards she'd go and put the telly on (she loved the TV!). After Mum died, whenever I go to her house to cook for her husband, after we've eaten the TV would turn on by itself. It especially happens if we are talking about Mum.

One day I was feeling particularly down and lonely, and asked out loud for Mum to give me a sign, to tell me that she's here. Later that day I was going through holiday photos and found a photo of Mum when I'd taken her to Majorca. She loved that holiday. She was sat on a bench looking out to sea, and there was a wall with some graffiti on it, I never noticed it before because it's so small. The graffiti said "Aqui Estoy".

I went to google translate and translated Aqui Estoy from Spanish to English. I got goosebumps!

Thank you so much for that. It brings me great comfort. I also experience things along these lines. Smells of perfume, songs on the radio, and dreams so real. Bless you. X

I lost my wonderful Mum on Tuesday, only 3 days after being told she had terminal lung cancer. During those 3 days I made her promise that when she passed she would send me a sign that she was still around.

She passed away on Tuesday morning and that night something weird happened. At around 2am I could hear loud voices. I dismissed it as someone outside. But then I heard music too. It was booming through the house. I got out of bed and started to go downstairs only to discover the TV in the back room was on and the volume must have been turned up full blast. Not only that, the TV show that was on was one Mum never missed. I'm assuming it was a repeat showing because it's never usually on at that time of night. That particularly TV is never used, I can't even remember the last time I switched it on.

After the loss of people close to me, I have on quite a few occasions felt their presence very strongly -  only for a matter of seconds and soon after they have passed on. I have also experienced a scent, not unpleasant but rather like a perfume, once when my mother died and once and just after the death of a close friend. Other people have talked to me of similar experiences. I feel it's a way of letting us know that these people are still close to us.

Hi Sarah it's lovely that you get so much confirmation that your mum is around you telling you she is well and reassuring you of an afterlife which maybe strange to say, but she is enjoying and when in time you fully accept her new life in the spirit world which I can say hand on heart really does exist, you will feel so much more peace within. I too have lost many family and friends and most have come back in some form to let me know they are well, free from pain which is a blessing to know. Many passed with a cancer condition which you experience also in some way or other. I do not believe in coincidences, chance happenings, but I know they have the ability to make things happen just at the right moment when you least expect it and i'm sure you will look forward to many more events ! The other night my partner and I were watchin tv and I could smell tobacco smoke so strongly and was aware of a short stocky male and when described to my partner she said it was her grandfather , he came just to let her know he was as well now as he was before his illness took him to the spirit world. I hope Sarah this is of help to you, take care of yourself.

Hi I'm new x To cut a long story short... Yesterday I was very upset about a situation which was out of my hands xx I felt absolutely depressed down and cried most of the day .I have not felt like this for years it was awfull.. around 4 o'clock when no body butme was in the house my son's bedroom door opened .. there was no wind or Windows open.thenthe washing machine stopped there was an overwhelmingly smell of hot electric. I change the settings it was fine .. tonight went to see mum her washing was on the units .she had the same experience as me.. weird

This thread is a great idea.

My mum passed only 2 weeks ago from cancer which had spread to the brain. Mum & I spoke every day and saw each other as much as we could. Neither of us were religious but we believe that when you pass you go to be with those you've lost in the past and have a big party! 
 

After she passed and I went back to my house I could smell her perfume all around my house. And something I had been looking for appeared on my bed, I hadn't told my husband I was looking for it so it wasn't him and it was out of reach of my little boy. 
 

Some of the noisy toys in the living room have batteries which no longer work, but a few days after mum passed they started going off on their own whilst I was sat on my sofa sobbing.

I'm convinced it was my mum keeping an eye on me and I love the idea she's still making sure I'm okay and safe from wherever she is and I'm loving reading that I am not the only one xxx

I beleive it theres things going on in this world we will never understand or are ment to the worlds to complexe for it to be just chance my sympathys .p

Hi Sarah, My names Matilda.

Im sorry to hear about your loss. My mummy passed away 2 weeks ago. Im 16 and have no siblings, just my dad. Since my mummy passed ive experienced some strange things. The night she passed i saw a shooting star in the sky and another one the night after. Then i was sat in my friends parents prayer shed, her mother was very close to mine. She has a pair of lights that hang on the ceiling that havnt worked for about a year. The night i was sat in there with my friend, and on the phone to my mums sister, mum and brother in law, we were all talking about my last words too mummy and how she tried to tell me she loved me. around 2 seconds after that the lights began to flash, i knew it was mum, i could feel her. those lights now turn themselves on every evening and flash through out the entire night. She also left my friends mum a note saying "a bright light in a dark sky", the evening i read that there was a large star in the sky. Another time was when i went into the shed to have a cry and as i went to grab a tissue from across the room i turned to my right and there they were. Ive had a few more moments but im still waiting on a dream. is it normal to have not had a dream souly provided on her yet?
